The Amazing son in law Chapter 6768
“Honestly, there’s no such thing as regretting a donation to charity and then expecting to sue for its recovery. This is definitely newsworthy, and all court cases are public. The judgment documents can be accessed by anyone. Even if you wish to keep it under wraps, it’s impossible. If you choose to fight this lawsuit, prepare yourself for what lies ahead.”
Jacob was suddenly engulfed by despair. He simply wanted to reclaim his money, never imagining that this situation could become public knowledge.
President Pei had just informed him over the phone that he would endure the pressures of this scandal and do his utmost to maintain his vice president position. However, if it came to light that he regretted his donation and sought to recover it, Pei would likely find himself in serious trouble, as the president wouldn’t be able to save himself.
After much contemplation, Jacob sorrowfully recognized that retrieving the 300,000 yuan would be incredibly challenging.
This realization caused him to lose control of his emotions, and he cried out, “What kind of evil have I done? What have I done! After struggling for so long, I can’t even recover 100,000 yuan! From Aurous Hill to Dubai and back, all my money has been squandered. The worst part is losing my second-in-command position. Who in the world is worse off than me?” Seeing Jacob in such emotional turmoil, the lawyer quickly stepped in to console him.
“Calm down. If you genuinely wish to litigate this issue, it’s not insurmountable. You just need to demonstrate that the 300,000 yuan you donated has a legitimate source. As long as there’s no illegal activity or tax evasion involved, you can explain to the court that your donation was made on impulse, and they might support your request.”
Jacob, still sobbing, asked through his tears, “Huh? Prove the source of the 300,000 yuan?”
The lawyer smiled reassuringly, “Absolutely, that’s the top priority! Let’s consider this: what if you obtained the 300,000 yuan through telecom fraud and then donated it to charity? If you later tried to sue for its recovery, wouldn’t that mean you were using charity to launder money?”
“I…I…” Jacob cried in utter despair. “You’re just bullying me! Ah! Even God is bullying me!”
With tears in his eyes, he turned and walked away.
If, as the lawyer indicated, he needed to prove the legitimacy of the 300,000 yuan, then he had already lost the battle at that point. What kind of lawsuit was this?
At that moment, he completely abandoned the idea of recovering the 300,000 yuan.
Feeling disheartened, he just wanted to flee the city as soon as possible.
After all, if he returned secretly, he wouldn’t even be able to go back home.
He squatted by the roadside, crying, and opened the booking app. Seeing that the next available flight to Dubai was not until tomorrow morning and that he could only afford an economy class ticket made him feel even worse.
Once he purchased the ticket, the thought of the eight-hour flight made his mood plummet further.
With Han Meiqing’s upcoming marriage and Hank being so impressive, Jacob felt even more despondent about his current situation, wishing he could slap himself to release his frustration.
Reflecting on the entire ordeal, he recognized that it was entirely his own doing, increasing his feelings of regret.
If given another chance, he vowed never to resort to such misguided ideas again!
At that moment, a hotel shuttle passed by Jacob. Inside, Steve Rothschild was seated alone in the back, preparing to head to a banquet. He glanced out the window and saw Jacob, who was squatting on the ground, holding his head and crying. Steve couldn’t help but sigh, thinking, “This must be what people mean when they say adults can collapse in an instant.”
